The Newnan News Isauod Every Friday. J. T. FAIN, Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATE. $1 00 PER YEAR. OFFICIAL PAPER OF COWETA COUNTY. ’Phone No. 20. OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLOO Home few people in ('luroll enmi ty also seem to favor lloke .Smith. More than one-half of the white voters ol Dougherty county are members of the Hoke Smith club at Albany. Evidently, the “unterrified" Democrats of Georgia are not ter rified by the cry that Hoke Smith is striving to disrupt the party. The old-timers are hard to fool. Misalleged support of General John 1$. Gordon for the United States Senate is another point at which the Hon. Clark Howell neglected to properly adjust his political record. The fact that all of the other candidates lor governor are run ning against Hoke Smith, and Hoke Smith alone, means that they are all agreed on the proposi tion that Smtih is the leading candidate in the race. Fifty thousand eggs will la* fur nished h,v the park eommissioners for the Faster egg hunt at Grant Park, Atlanta, tomorrow after noon. Several thousand children, furnished by the parents of At lanta, will furnish eggseitoment for the occasion. The palpitating public is still waiting for Syd Tapp to make good his threat to “skin Hoke Smith on every stump in Georgia"—like wise, the same public is still wait ing for Clark Howell to make good his Columbus promise to meet lloke Smith in some more joint debates. There is but one Populist daily paper (the Augusta Tribune) in the world and that is opposing Hoke Smith with all the power and eloquence that it commands— and that is a good deal.—Milledge- villc News. And yet we hear from a certain quarter that the Populists, to a man, are conspiring with lloke Smith to wreck the Democratic party. The anguish in the Howell camp is growing fearful. Clark has found it necessary to call to his as sistance the New York Sun; and a recent edition of the Sun, contain ing marked editorials favorable to Howell and attacking Smith, has been hr indcasted over the State. Clark says he scorns the supp >rt of his honest Populist neighbi rs in Georgia, and then proceeds to tie up with the Republican New York Sun, the foullest, dirtiest South-hater in the United States, a paper that for the past forty years has been the South’s veno unous and rabid enemy. Terrell county; the home of Congressman James M. Griggs, Hon. O H. Stevens and the lat ter’s son-in-law, Hon. M. J. You mans, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, is overwhelmingly for Hoke Smith. This fact was clearly evidenced in the recent mass meeting held in Dawson. The meeting was domi nated by Hoke Smith’s supporters; lloke Smith men were elected chairman and secretary of the meeting, and the chairman and a majority of thn members of the county executive committee elect ed by the mass meeting, are Hoke Smith men. The distinguished gentlemen mentioned above are not supposed to be supporting lloke Smith enthusiastically, but the plain people and business men of Tenell county have emphatical ly declared their preference for Smii h. For anything in music or musi cal instillments telephone No. Illli. Strikingly Strange. It is said that Colonel Estill is making Hon. Hoke Smith nervous, before the thing is over the south Georgia candidate will have ’em all worried.—Darien Gazette. The Colonel’s friends have been worried for some time over the idea of him allowing himself to be used as wedge wood in an effort to make Clark Howell, a man whom the majority of the voters of Geor gia don’t want, governor of the State. Then again it is strikingly strange that Hoke Smith is the only candidate that Colonel Estill is making nervous. Do you mean to tell us that Hoke Smith is the only one of the candidates Estill is running against at present?— Thomasville Press. Howell Ties Up to The New York Sun. The State of Georgia is pretty well inforpied that Hon. Clark Howell tried to trade with Watson and failed to get “My Dear Tom" to come into his trap. His ex planations havo gotten him deeper and deeper into the mess which he himself raised in trying to fasten Tom on to the Smith platform. This proved a terrible boomerang to Howell. He feels that he made a "bust," but is to be congratulat ed on keeping up the best face over it he could behind Hoke’s back since it failed to annihilate Hoke at Columbus,as he expected. Then they started the bar room fit on and they have rung about all the changes possible on it. It was small and mean enough turn, the stomach of a blue bottle fly, but at last, determined to leave no stone unturned to find billingsgate low enough for their attack on an honorable Georgian, tbe Howell press gang, directed by the Hon. Clark Howell himself, turns to the press of New York for help. They found what they wanted. They found the meanest Republican, South-hating organ on God’s green earth; one that never found epi thets too foul to hurl at our side of the United States nor missed an occasion to raise the bloody shirt threats against Georgia. To name this organ to you is enough; it is the New York Sun, the meanest of Georgia’s enemies in the Re publican ranks and the only one that owns a complete dictionary of the real Dana billingsgate. The world has long ago found it con tained foulness that would not stay I on the stomach of a vulture and would kill the ptomaines in de-i cayed bacon. A recent edition of I the Sun has been sent broadcast : over Georgia with marked editor lals, the work of the Howell liter ary gang. The inspired editorial is plain enough to the most casual observer. Clark would “go to the stake” to avoid Tom; but can tie to this Republican slop tub. It! will not hurt Hoke, but what willj the people think of the Georgian | who tinkers with this old Repub lican wretch.—Waynesboro True! Citizen. Soldier Killed at Fort McPher son. Lewis Purcell, the deserter from tlu* United States army who was captured in Newnan about three weeks ago, was killed at Fort Mc Pherson last Monday morning., Purcell had been a prisoner from the time of his return to the Fort by the authorities here, and at the time of his death was employed in hauling wood, under the strict surveillance of a guard. At what seemed to 1m* a favorable oppor tunity, Purcell leaped into the empty wagon, lashed his team into a run and attempted to leave the government reservation. His guard, a soldier named Ludlatn, after calling several times for Pur cell to halt, fired and shot him in the back. Purcell lived but twenty minutes after lM*ing shot. Meetings! Beginning on Sunday, next, there will 1h* held a series of meet ings at the Central Baptist Church. Rev. Jno. E. White, D.
